On the second day of our cruise - Saturday - we practically had to crowbar the kids out of bed. I booked early reservations for the Frozen and Princess Gatherings so that we could spend most of the day with Grammy and Grandpa in Nassau. After a very early breakfast buffet at Cabanas, we headed… Continue reading Disney Dream – Nassau & Pirate Night – Saturday

A Visit to the State Capitol and a No-sew Disney Cruise Line T-shirts
Grand dual staircases built by Horace King (a freed slave) in the Alabama State Capitol Earlier this month, the DH and I helped chaperone Blinky's field trip to the Alabama State Capitol and State Archives. What fun! She enjoyed seeing everything she'd been learning about in her history class and eagerly answered the docent's questions.… Continue reading A Visit to the State Capitol and a No-sew Disney Cruise Line T-shirts
Shhhh… don’t tell the kids we’re going on a Disney cruise!
My title gave it away, but I'm so excited I'm going to type it again... We're going on a Disney cruise!!! A few months ago, while researching Spring Break rates for a potential client, I came across a deal for a three-night cruise that was just too good to pass up. That it falls the… Continue reading Shhhh… don’t tell the kids we’re going on a Disney cruise!
Post Cruise – Disney
I hope you enjoyed my recap of our Royal Caribbean eight-night western Caribbean cruise. We returned to Ft. Lauderdale on December 30th. We said goodbye to my parents and brother, and my mother-in-law, as they made their way back to the airport for their own long journey home. The night before, the DH and I… Continue reading Post Cruise – Disney
Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Days 7 & 8 – Sea Days
There were still so many things we wanted to do on board Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas, we were looking forward to two sea days. First up, The Perfect Storm - three stories of twists and turns to the bottom of dual-racer slides Typhoon and Cyclone. This was by far Stinky and Blinky's favorite,… Continue reading Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Days 7 & 8 – Sea Days
Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 6 – St. Kitts & Mt. Liamuiga
Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so that you can see the world, not so the world can see you.David McCullough Jr. The DH and I saw the Mt. Liamuiga hike months ago when we began looking at excursions.… Continue reading Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 6 – St. Kitts & Mt. Liamuiga
Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 5 – St. Martin and Maho Beach
Aren't you proud of my four posts in a row? I had every intention of keeping the momentum going for all eight days, but then life happened. Anyway, I'm back today with a recap of Day 5. After a wonderful day in Puerto Rico, we woke up the next morning in St. Martin. It was… Continue reading Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 5 – St. Martin and Maho Beach
Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 4 – San Juan – Christmas Day
Did I forget to tell you that Odette found us in the middle of the Atlantic? Alas, she would say her goodbye on Christmas Day, but she brought Stinky and Blinky joy for a few days every time they returned to the cabin and found her in a new pose. Blinky and I were up… Continue reading Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 4 – San Juan – Christmas Day
Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 3 – Sea Day – Christmas Eve
We had three sea days on this sailing which made the DH a little nervous. He wondered if there would be sufficient activities to entertain our diverse party of eight. Having recently completed Royal Caribbean University, I knew we'd be just fine. The Cruise Compass (daily planner) seemed to overflow with activities. However, the kids… Continue reading Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 3 – Sea Day – Christmas Eve
Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas Day 2 – Nassau and Formal Night
Nassau was a sort of bonus fourth port of call for us. Since half of our group were born and bred Bahamians, we divvied priorities and ended up splitting into two groups. I customized a sightseeing/snorkeling tour with my uncle taxi/tour guide so that my mother-in-law, for whom this was her first visit, could learn… Continue reading Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas Day 2 – Nassau and Formal Night
